imfortant decision of the SUPREMK
COURT, AiiBROSfc: vs. RUSSELL.
petitioners are persons of color,
who together with their parenta, had boen
slavig^ and were emancipated by the or-
dimiice of the Convention. They W’ere
takei in custody hy the defendant Rus-
claimed to hold them as appr£.B-
tictt, under an order of the County uourt
of Kibesoj, purporting to bind the peti-
tionei'8 to aim. The petitioners obtained
a writ of hiheas corpus, returnable before
Jud:e Gillum, who, upon the hearing re
manded them to the custody of the defeud-
ant.
T"C questions are involved iuthe case :
1 Had the Juge, upon the hearing, the
right to look behind the order of the Coun
ty Coui't, binding out the petitioners ?
His Honor w^as of the opinion, that he
was piecluded hy the order, and had 110
right to look to the merits of the case.
In this w e think there is error. The
defendant who claims the right to restrain
the liberty of the petitioners, must show'
his authority. And when he shows the
order of the Comity Court, the petitioners

Corn Song.
BY JOHN Cr. WHITTIER.
Heap high the farmer’s wintry board.
Heap high the golden corn !
No riclier gift has .\utnmn poured
From out her lavish horn!
Let other lands exulting glean
Tlie apple from the pine,
Tlie orange from its glossy green,
The cluster from the vine;
We belter love the hardy gift
Our rugged vales bestow,
To cheer us when the storms shall drift
Our harvest fields with snow'.
Through vales of grass and meads of flowers.
Out ploughs llieir furrows made,
Wliile on the hills the sun and showers
Of changeful Ajiril played.
We dropped the seed oVr hill and plain,
Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from our S[)routiiig grain
The robber crows away.
All tliroiigli the long bright days 01 June
Its leaves grew bright and fair.
And waved in hot- midsummer noon
Its bright ami yMlowhair.
A:ndiiow with Autumn’s moon-lit eyes
Its -larvest tiine has come—
'' 'i' j’u'' '*'V;>v its fnejtod leaves.
Ana bear its treasures home.

32:k is relied on as sliowing, jhat neither

prci-ence in Court is necessary. It is true
that in the opinion delivered in that case,
it h said that, ‘‘ there is nothing* in the
statale requiring tin; presence of the or
phan when the binding takes place, though
it is usual,” But the case did not n*quire
that point to he d(*cided. Tliat case was
thi.: An orphan had been hound out hy
the Court, and a third yierson applied to
theCou t to vacate the order binding out
the orphan, and to hind him to that, third
person. The orphan was not moving in
the matter himself, and of! course, the
Court refused to interfere at the instartce
of a third person, who had no interest in
th(* matter. So that we cannot give to
that case the force of a decision Uyjon this

Import.^nt Decision—Judge Gate.o,
the whole poj)ulation are indigent colored i Louisiana, has rendered a decision which
persons. So that the exceptional case, j importance to many former
which we used to have, must be greatly j slaveholders, shouhl it become a im*cedent
multiplied, and the responsibilities and dn
ties of the county conrt'« must lx* increased
in proj)ortion. It is, therefore, of great
importance that tdeir duties, and the rights
for the courts in other States. He says
that the logical sequence of the State in
emancipating slavt*s must he, that when
the right of property in that which had
ofhoth apinentices and masters, in the heretofore been treated as such hy tin* laws
yiroceediugs for binding, should he defined destroyed, the laws to regulate the rights
and understood. We have no hesitation
in saying that in all cases of binding ap
prentices, whether white or colored, it is
the right of the yierson to he hound to have
notice, and it is the duty of the court to
see that they hav’e notice, and it is, to say
the least, prudent in the court to require
that the y)erson should he preseiU in court.
I’here can he no case wh(*re notice can he
disposed with, and the actiml presence of
the person ought only to he disyieused with
where he Inis intelligent friends present,
who can see that his interests are yiroyn ijy
giiarded.
The case before us shows the propriety
of what we have just said. Take tlu* cas(*
as Slated hy Judge Gilli.im : the yietition-
ers are females, respectively thirteen and
fifteen years of age, an ag(* when t ley
stand most in need of tlieoversight of tlieir
parents and fii(*iids. 'rin*y are industri
ous, well hehav(*d and amply provided for
in food and cloihiiig. They live with their
mother and steyi-fatln*!' who are of good
ch.i:act(*r and are well to do. What he‘ter
off could thev be nr n(*ed tliev' he ? What
V A/
interest had society in having tin ir r(*la-
fions broken up, and th(*inselves yint un
der the care of strang(*rs, with no iiffection
for them—r.or any other interest c cept
gain from tln*ir seiv’ces. Now if these
persons or their friends had been present
when the ayjplication was made for their
binding,'vVould any court in tin; State have
hound ihein out ? Gf conrsi* not. It w'onld
have been a gross outrage if they had. A
court ought not to, and will not, hind out
an orphan unless it app -ar tliat his condi
tion will he iinpr ved. It is a high duty
of the court, and one which th. y j)erform
with yileasnie, to yiroO ct these helyjless
cliildn*n, anJ hot only prevent ojipression
and fraud, hnt to act as a friend, and guaid
and improve their condition. I remember
ihiit, when I was at the bar, the county
Cuurt of Granville had ordered sundry or
phans to be brought to court to he hound
ut. Among them were three or four wlio
were neat and clean, and their mother was
with them, and cried much hut said not a
word. Upon enquiring, it was found that
she was an honest industrious woman and
widow, who had labored hard for her chil
dren, and just when they could begin to
help her the rapacity of some hud man
,sought to lake-them away.
Some*gentleman of the Bar suggested,
that instead of t king away her children
there should he a contribution to enable her
of parties to that property, and to enforce
payment of obligations given for it, must
fidlow the fate of the property itst lf, and
all contracts based n|on these laws he an
nulled.
The Judge further holds tliat the tenure
hy which this species of prope ty was held
was diflerent from that hy which all »t’:er
pnqicrty is held It was not based, he
says, on natural law ; and the right of lib-
ertv was a yiri'-oxistiiig right which belong
ed to the person lu*ld ;is a slavi*, howev(*r
much jnihlic jiolicy and the snpposi'd inter
ests of the cnuntiy may have yneventt'd
the enforement of tin* right hy the pi'ison
claiming it. But wli(*n tin; sovereign yiow-
er of the State intervt*n(*d to recognize and
enforce that right, it cannot he said tnat
the pmoerty was destroyed hy any fortui-
tuua event.
He aims, tliat the Government cannot
say a tract of land which is yiroperty, hy
the laws of natun.*, shall no longer he pro
perty, hut that a slave, once eniancijiated,
c.in, hy no siihp(*qn*nt act of the Gov(*rn-
! uient, be legally held as a slave. It' this
rnliiig prevails ihronghoiit the courts of the

Singular Accident—.1 Alan Thrown

• ’rescent gives an account of the killing of
Christian Tiiissell in the woods, in Dale,
Gutaganiie county, N. Y., hy a most sin
gular and terrible accident, as follows:
It appears that a party of men were in
the woods cutting a fillow, and where they
were chojiping two large trees had been
felled—one across tin* oilier—the one ou
top balancing nearly. J'he man who was
killed was cho()ping near these trees, and
ano her party having a l.irge tree about
ready to comp down, hailed him to look
out, when he ran and stood on tin* top of
the balancing tree to see the other come
down. The mea then brought the tree
down, which struck the other end of the
tree on which Trnssell wais standing, and
the tremendon.s w(*ight of it coming upon
the lever threw him like a shot into the
air upwards of eighty feet. In coining
down one of his legs, from his knee to his
hip, was shattered to atoms, and the hack
of his head ivas stove in. He wa.s taken
up with some life in him, and soon ex
pired.
